<p>Im not sure where this falls, but Greg Cotex&#39;s article today about coaches on the hot seat failed to mention Mario Cristobal. Now I have thrown my support behind Mario after having been one of his most vocal critics, but once again FIU was nowhere to be seen in a Herald article. </p>
<p>What really pissed me off was the article on the main page about the Oscar Mayer wiener mobile visiting UM and FIU. The front page had a UM student on it and all the students quoted or interviewed for that article were UM students. The wiener mobile visited UM and FIU, but yet somehow there was very little if any mention of FIU aside from the headline. I refuse to believe that the reporter couldnt get to FIU from UM. Even during rush hour its a 30 minute drive. </p>
<p>Yea I cant wait for FIU to start winning because the lack of respect for out school is ridiculous. No respect at all.</p>FIURage commented on 'PTI from FIU on Friday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e201310f1d00c3970c2010-02-19T12:22:59Z2010-02-19T12:22:59ZFIURageFIU just needs to let the w's do the talking, then the respect will come.<p>FIU just needs to let the w&#39;s do the talking, then the respect will come.</p>c-UM commented on 'PTI from FIU on Friday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20120a8b4d048970b2010-02-19T04:41:34Z2010-02-19T04:41:34Zc-UMPlus there are a bunch of young "ratardsss" on the board of directors.

Plus, Ive told youse about my moron FIU grad neighbor that knows the UM alma mater song, but doesnt know MC is our football coach.</p>
<p>Mr.ChiaPanther: Your rant is pretty, well ranty. ha! It&#39;s true though. FIU&#39;s athletics department was a joke and a mess for the last few decades. Our SGA is a joke and our Alumni Association is no better. I bought an annual membership in December and I still havent received my membership card. According to them they are &quot;backed up&quot;.</p>
<p>I have said this before and Ill say it again. The Alumni Association and the SGA need to work harder to 1)Instill FIU pride in our incoming and current students and 2)Get those students to support and give to FIU long after they&#39;ve graduated. </p>
<p>The problem with FIU is that a lot of Madique&#39;s goons are still in there. I liken FIU to the Miami Dade Gov&#39;t. Lots of unqualified people in high positions that really have no interest in what they do other than to collect a paycheck and move themselves up the ladder. President Rosenberg needs to clean house if he wants the university to succeed and be taken seriously. </p>

USF, which is in a much more talent rich region than UCF, has managed to surpass its neighbor on the I-4 very quickly. We are in the most talent rich region in the country, and once things start clicking and we start firing on all 12 we will be one heck of a team. This isn&#39;t a sprint, this is a marathon, and we will come out on top. </p>
<p>Our class was only a little behind UCF&#39;s when it comes to rated players, they signed 12, and we signed 9, not including our transfers (Jeremiah Harden would count as a 10th ranked player). That is only two less than a 31 year old program, and we were the only non-AQ school to sign an ESPN 150 player. If one looks at the 2011 class there are a plethora of top players considering going to FIU. If we can go 6-6 or 7-5 I wouldn&#39;t be surprised to see us sign 12 three-star players and two to three ESPN 150 players.</p>JulesFIU07 commented on 'PTI from FIU on Friday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20120a8b37557970b2010-02-18T22:02:49Z2010-02-18T22:02:49ZJulesFIU07Chia, let's not stoop to their level and make this a race issue.

UM thought of its self as the &quot;Ivy League&quot; of the south.... Posers!!!!... that university in Coral Gables, always has been and always will be FAKE. The only good thing that school did was it&#39;s business venture with the Hospital....and Guess WHAT!!!! We&#39;re on our way there. <br />
Bottom line is, that fake white upper class saw their athletic programs were nothing, a joke!!! So they turned into plantation owners and got the minorities to do the work for them. Taking advantage that these kids had no other options. Funny thing is, even as they built scUM, that faculty and it&#39;s president didn&#39;t want them there. Reality is, if there had been another program in South Florida where those athlete&#39;s could of played, that&#39;s where they would of played.... It&#39;s a shame it took this long to build a program at FIU. It&#39;s embarrasing how we went 30 yrs with pathetic Athletic Coordinators just collecting pay checks. How our Student Gov, blows when you&#39;re in school...and blows when you&#39;re an alumn...oh yeah, not surprising &#39;cause it&#39;s the same group. <br />
We are the REAL university of Miami, a true representation of this city, it&#39;s diversity, and it&#39;s surrounding areas. <br />
Commuter school is not an insult! <br />
So for those idio-s like crazycane... go fist yourself!!! Wear your scUM shirt while paying tuition at FIU, and thank you for your contribution you just paid for TY&#39;s jock strap. <br />
-ps. What&#39;s up ROARY!!! See you at the game FRIDAY!!!!! I&#39;ll try to catch the paratroopers at the softball game or play hookie all day and watch the PTI interview....GO FIU!!!!!!!!!!!<br />

Zeke will get the last laugh next year when he has solid starters and a solid bench. WKU be careful! in 2011 your Golden Panthers will dancing in the tourney with an automatic bid. In the mean time, UM last real head coach in bball is building something nice at FSU. Haith&#39;s schedule early in the year was full of cupcakes. You want to hang in the ACC then play some real teams early in your schedule, tough guys. Finally, if you wear green/orange and you did not go to the school you are a &quot;poser.&quot; trying to be what you are not.

<p>So I am at the bar near home watching the Duke scUM game last night and I see 2 guys that graduated with me back in 1996 from FIU. They were wearing scUM attire and with a couple of guys I had never met. </p>
<p>Conversation flowed as follows:</p>
<p>(FIUPIKE) &quot;Didn&#39;t you guys graduate from FIU ?&quot;</p>
<p>(scUM frontrunners) uuuuhhh, yeah...why ?</p>
<p>(FIUPIKE) &quot;Laughed my A** off&quot; walked back over to my high-top...</p>
<p>(strangers at the table)&quot;Ohhh I thought you guys went to scUM, you never mentioned you went to FIU....&quot;</p>
<p>(FIUPIKE) &quot;guys that is weak and you should be ashamed of yourselves, LOL&quot;</p>
<p>(strangers at table)I can hear the one guy tell the scUM frontrunners - &quot;Isiah will surprise alot of people next year...&quot; </p>
<p>Apparently this gentleman coached HS bball locally and was convinced that Zeke recruiting only ESPN Super 60 players starting next year will pay off big time very quickly...</p>

How anyone can so blatantly distort facts and claim to be a real reporter is a testament to the negativism that exists at that joke of a paper.</p>
<p>This is the kind of year we should have expected, the same kind of year Jarvis had last year at FAU. He went 6-26, and is now 13-12 because he was able to build his own team. In a weird way we are ahead of where Jarvis was last year at 7-21, and with the players Isiah has coming in next year, the added height and depth, should see us competing and ideally having the same kind of turnaround that FAU did.</p>Miri commented on 'PTI from FIU on Friday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2012877b42e1b970c2010-02-18T14:21:22Z2010-02-18T14:21:22ZMiriAwesome news, Pete! :)<p>Awesome news, Pete! :)</p>FIURage commented on 'PTI from FIU on Friday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2012877b39871970c2010-02-18T11:49:43Z2010-02-18T11:49:43ZFIURageIts more than interest candycane has in FIU, its more like an obsession.<p>Its more than interest candycane has in FIU, its more like an obsession.</p>Quijote commented on 'PTI from FIU on Friday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2012877b29761970c2010-02-18T06:17:03Z2010-02-18T06:17:03ZQuijoteCrazy, You're the LAST PERSON to talk about contending with the "big boys".

<p>You&#39;re the LAST PERSON to talk about contending with the &quot;big boys&quot;. Once again, scUM basketball has bombed their ACC basketball schedule and likely won&#39;t even make it into NIT competition this year. You start the season going 8-0 against cupcakes and then go 3-10 during conference play. Jesus that&#39;s practically on par with FIU&#39;s conference record. I know the Belt is no ACC, just like the ACC is no SEC. </p>
